RusSia's Political Police.
from the st. James's Gazette.

From the st. James's Gazette.
That the Russian political police
never forgives is pretty well known.
Here is an illustration. In the year
1880 Stanislaus Jablonowski, the son
of Polish country gentleman, was
appointed from one OF the military
schools at st. Petersburg to com
mission in a guards regiment, and
had leave to visit his home before
joining. While he was still with his
family the Polish insurrection broke
out and the lad was ordered by his
father to join the insurgents. He did
so, much against his own will las h
told me, his Russian military educa-
ton having somewhat blunted his
patriotism; but as his father threaten
ed him with the paternal curse in case
of disobedience, he threw his lot with
the patriots. When in the following
year the Instruction was extinuuish-
ed, young Jablonowski was fortunate
enough to escape through Wallachia
to Turkey, where he entered the regi-
ment OF Cossacks of the guards (then
chiefly composed Of Christians Of all
nationalities differed by Poles, the
commander being Gen. Czaykowski
Pasha.) In this regiment he rose
gradually to the rank Of adjutant
major; and left the service, infirm and
broken in health, about 1875, obtain
ing small berth of three or tour
pounds a month as assistant sur
veyor ofroads in the district OF Sliven.
Here he vegetated quietly till 1877,
and unfortunately for himself, elected
to stay in the town Of Sliven until
the entry of the Russians; never
dreaming that he would be punished
for having fought against the Russians
the police section Of the army which
occupied sliven brought with it seven
photographs OF persons who were
wanted, " and among them was a
portrait OF Jablonowski taken six
years previously at Adrianople. Al
though arrested, he was at first treat
ed very leniently, and invited daily to
dinner by officers who knew his story;
but a few weeks afterwards orders
were received to convey him TO the
Danube headquarters, and he WAS
sent under escort with q commissariat
transport caravan. At first he was
allowed TO sit on q baggage-wagon,
from which, after an hour or so be
was forced to alight and walk. For

A Talk On England.

In an easy, conversational style,
Mr.. Moncure d. Conway delivered, at
the Unitarian church in Washington,
the first of his three lectures on ENG
land" The title OF the lecture was
England in the Year of Jubilee" and
in it Mr.. Conway dealt with the char
acteristics of the Englishman, low
and high, the condition OF society, the
political situation, The Irish question,
and briefly indicated the causes which
have made England and the English
what they are. OF the condition of
England at present Mr.. Conway took
rather gloomy view. Vast numbers
OF the men to whom Gladstone
had recently given the right of
suffrage could not read nor write.
The wife. heater could vote, but the
beaten wife could not. An effort had
been made to induce Gladstone to re-
strict suffrage to men capable OF
reading and Writing; but no, he wss
bent on doing more than Beaconsfeld
had done in his household suffrage
act, and insisted that the man who had
to "make his mark" should have equal
political rights with the wisest in the
land. The worst OF it was this great
mass of ignorant voters were impa-
tient for the better times they have
been told were coming, and believe
that what they want they must get
by force. The religious restraints are
giving way, and many Of them, SUBJ
stituting the secular for the divine, be-
lieve that when Bradlaugh, instead of
Gabriel, blows his trumpet the old
social world will crumble. and the new
dispensation begin. The. educated
free thinkers, the evolutiOnists, are as
q rule conservatives. They believe
that the present order OF things has
been slowly evolved out OF previous
conditions and as slowly must pass
away. But the ignorant masses on
whom religion has lost it's hold,
it is, to be feared, contemplate
violent revolution. The worst of it is,
in the machinery OF the British con
stitution no allowance has been made
for yielding anything to the demands
OF the people except through fear.
The masses have learned this. Not

ssGone Over The Range. -

Charles Coulter, who went over the
range, pierced by fourteen bullets fired
by the citizens of Colorado, was we'll
known throughout the West as one of
the original cowboys, and desperate
character when in the influence OF
liquor. He was. cowboy from in
fancy. He drove the first big herd of
cattle up the Santa F'e trail in 1857,
when cowboys were known as cow
punchers, and did not include theologi-
cal students and diplomats. Coulter,
who was a fine specimen OF manhood,
was, like all great characters in Ameri.
can history, a Missourian. He was
six feet one inch in height and
weighed 200 pounds. He is the
fourth of his family to die with his
rawhides on. although had he been an
ordinary man he would have cashed
in a good many years ago. His father
and two brothers died on their feet,
and the last male OF the race is singu-
larry q victim OF consumption and
likely to die at any moment. Coulter
began his career at fifteen in the sad
die chasing steers, and this was his oc-
cupation during life, except for about
two years when he cast his fortunes
with the James Younger crowd. He
did not like the business OF holding up
stage coaches and railway trains, how
ever, and returned to the cattle bust
ness. When sober, he was a pleasant,
inoffensive fellow, but when drunk
was desperate to the extreme and
would commit the rashest of deeds,
which would cost other men their
lives. He knew every foot of the coun-
ty from the Missouri to the Montana
ranges, and had many remarkable ad.
ventures. 49,.
On one occasion he became involved
in a row in a Dodge City saloon and
fought thirteen men and got away
without injury. During this fight two
men were either killed or seriously
wounded. In the row Coulter intro.
duced what is known as the back-ac.
ton move-knocking one man down
and shooting another at the same
time. This is done by striking man
In front with the stock of q gun and
shooting one in the rear. After this
row the friends ofsome ofthe men who
were injured started out to kill Coul-
ter, but failed to come up with him.,
For q year or two he was very quiet
and then sprang up at Wallace by
rounding up" the town and holding
it for two days with four companions.
During this raid Coulter walked in
to a small eating saloon, frequented
by railway men, as a young consump-
tive was eating q graveyard Stew"
as milk and toast is called in that
section. The young man was reclin.
ing against the wall and had raised a
spoon to his mouth when Coulter
shot it out OF his hand. The young
fellow turned to flee when Coulter CALI
ed out to him to stop, and placing
him near the wall, made a complete
profile of his body with bullets, graz
ing the skin half dozen times
On one occasion Coulter is said to
have ridden $40 miles without leav-
ing the saddle. He was q tirst-class
cattle man, and was as brave as any
who ever threw lariat. Even after
his body had been pierced with four.
teen bullets in the fatal fight,
he managed to empty two guns
and wound two men.-Denver News.

CITIZENS SHOULD not forget that the
registration for the August election will
close this week. If any mans name
does not appear on the list of his pre-
cinct next Saturday night he will not
be able to vote for members of the Leg
islature AID general officers next Au-
gust. There are thousands of citizens,
possessing all the qualifications of yot-
ers, who have not yet taken the
trouble to register. Failure to per-
form this duty for another week
will be fatal to their right to vote. If
one will consider for moment how es-
sentiai it is that the coming election
should result in the choice of the right
man, he will not fail to perform his
duty to himself and to the community
in which he resides. If the Territory
can be held safely through this election,
there will be little fear as to the future.

from the eyes of England. An American
Territory has no right;of local govern
ment that Congress is bound to respect.
Its citizens are suppliants for the in
herent right of governing themselves,
and must rejoice in such crumbs of
liberty as fall from the, tables of free
dom. We are told to look forward to
the day when We shall be States, that
we cannot hope to be free while
we are yet in a condition of tutelage
but, alas! whether we shall ever
be States depends also upon congress
sional caprice, and "a state of tutelage"
seems death enough to cover popula-
ton OF ten thousand or a half million.
Utah and Its people struggle under
load of tyrannies and special Lawsuit,
it is said, that in this case oppression is
deserved. But, alas this is the old, old
plea, that has served the purpose of
every unholy attack upon liberty, and
of every religious persecution since the
world began.
If Utah is exceptional, turn to Arr
IONA and gaze upon her measures of
freedom. The governor and secretary
Qieutenant-governor) are Federal ap-
pointees. 1t has not court with re-
spectacle jurisdiction whose judges are
not nominated by the President and
confirmed by the Senate. Its executive
has an absolute veto upon acts of the
Legislature, and may thus balk or defeat |
the unanimous will of the people. Con.
gress claims both the right of annuling
any local statute and what is without
precedent, the right of concurrent legis-
lation upon matters of purely
local concern, which, by the way
it has not hesitated to exercise.
Governed SO largely by the national
executive and legislature, Arizona has
neither vote for one nor a voice in the
other. That Territory, with all the
rest, is required to pay its proportion of
import duties and internal revenue
without representation in the Congress
that imposes them. To this remark
able catalogue of tyrannies, Utah adds {
many other items, which, even if deser- -,
7ed, illustrate the unbounded power of
Congress to Cypress, thing that is I'M
American to the last degree.

THE PIOUS FRAUD.
How Methodist Minister Got in
His Work.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.

To the Editor of THE HERALD.
An example of the workings of sec
terrain Christianity in this Territory, is
shown in Tooele County. A few facts
for people to consider and lay by for
further references. Some years
age one of the mis- >ionaries of
the Methodist Episcopal Church in
duced some of our people to raise tn e
means for the building and furnishing
of house that should be used first for
an advanced school, seminary, for the
people of Tooele County who desire an
education for their children in advanc 9
of the common school education; it
should also be lecture-room, free to
anyone for the advancement of liberal
ideas, in any form for public good, be-
sides the religious services of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The peo-
pie Of Tooele, Stockton, Ophir and Dry
Canyon furnished all the means-the
Methodist Episcopal Church furnished
all the. promises and pocketed the deed
for the property without ever rendering
any account to the people concerned.

WILLIAM A. WHEELER.


tx = Vice President William A
Wheeler died yesterday at his home in
Melone, New York, at the age of 6s
years. Had his death occurred eleven
years ago he would have been spared
living the eleven worst years of his life,
physically, and mentally. Mr..
Wheeler was one of the able men
of the nation, scholar of
note, q lawyer with fame, and
a statesman. and was admired,
trusted and esteemed. His long
service in Congress was marked by in
dustry and his work was characterized
by intelligence and craftsmanship.
But he made two mistakes, either of
which would have been sufficient to
efectually bury him politically. He
erred when he accepted the nomina-
ton for the Tice-Presidency; be
erred, because election would have
put an end to a steadily rising

ambition should not hsveied him into
that almost crime. 1t did lead him into
it, however, and the result has been
painful, even deplorable. Pitied, if not
despised. ever since, by those who did
notforget there was such person, he
has died in the dIsesteem of almost
the entire nation. 1t has been
said many times, and never denied by
him so far as we knew, that he was OPP
posed to taking the Office which he
recognized was procured by fraud, but
he was not strong enough to withstand
the temptation and had not the courage
to denounce the men and the party
who stole the Presidency and Vice
Presidency for Hayes and him. The
world is a great evener. 1t most
terribly revenged Itself on poor
Wheeler who never saw a happy,
contented day from the time he
permitted himself to reap the
reward of the great crime of 1876.
Broken in health, despised by more
than half his countrymen, and not re
spected by the others, he left the Office
which be held by fraud to go into re-
tirement and drag out an existence as
and unhappy as it was unlike
what the final years of William A.
Wheeler should have been.

WATER MAIN EXTENSION.

The proposition put forth by THE
HERALD the other day, that the corpor-
alton borrow money and extend the
water main in every direction, so as to
bring the great bulk of the people
within reach of pure water finds much
favor in the community, as we have
been assured by many property owners
and progressive citizens. The people
entertain a commendable horror of
debt. They look upon public debt as
the individual does upon personal OBJ
legation, and feel that a bond on the
corporation is like mortgage on the
private citizens home. This caution is
highly commendable, and does credit.to
the honesty of the community; but it |
does not argue public wisdom and wise |
fnanciering; on the contrary, it does |
imply unwise and unnecessary delay ir
development and progress. If we are to
pay as we go" as a community, We
are not going very fast, and this gener-
alton will deprive itself of many OF the
pleasures, benefits. and even necessities
of proper and reasonable existence we
will impose and suffer these depriva-
lions when We might enjoy the advan-
tages without doing injustice to SUE.
ceeding generations. Those who
come after will have the
benefit of the water service
quite as much as we. and if We pay for :
the improvement now our successors {
will have water without cost to them {
selves. But We cannot pay for the inn c
proYement. We must go into debt, or t
go without the water main extension, '
and if the latter course is followed those Z
who come later will also do without the q
extension, for they will be in no better I
circumstances than we. 1t occurs to b
US that the proper thing to do is to bor- c
row the money, make the improve 81
ment, enjoy its benefits, pay our pro- il
portion and let future generations paw b
their share. longtime bonds at low C
rate OF interest can be readily foated, RI
and 1T is believed that the returns from Q
the water service will not only pay the p
interest, but yield fund for the re- n
demption of the bonds. ii
THE HERALD hopes the Council and o
the taxpayers will consider the pro- N
position intelligently spd fayorably Ii
and that when the Legislature shall! ii
meet next January we can go before it 81
with petition for authority to borrow C
the necessary money on longtime b

to do what we might have done years d,
ago if We had not lacked the courage to CT
go ahead. CT
